The Great Wall of China is actually called the “Long Wall” in Chinese. Which is an apt name as it stretches 5,500 miles (8,851 km) across the northern part of the country. This section is near Beijing (click on the photo for a much better view).

But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.
― George Gordon Byron
When traveling in India and many part of South Asia, a gecko is a welcome visitor to your hotel room. Or rather, you’re the visitor to their home. Either way, they eat lots of bugs and look cool hanging on the wall!
It’s exciting to write a book, get it published and hand the finished product to someone. It’s humbling when you start to notice the mistakes. I’ve only seen two so far in my book GO. One is some crunched up text, while the other is a bit more problematic.
In one of the latter chapters I tell the story of a former missionary named William Borden. Except that I refer to him as Henry Borden. The story is true and all the facts are correct, but his name is William, not Henry. I’m not sure why, after doing the research and reading about Borden’s life that I never noticed the mistake. He’s long dead, so I don’t think he’ll mind, but the name is wrong.
Isn’t that how life goes? I love this quote from the narrator of one of my favorite movies, A Christmas Story; Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at it’s zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters descend upon us.
Thanks to all of you who’ve ordered my book. I’d love to hear your thoughts when you read it!
